Even so, he heca111e a pI itne favorite. i\ a typicdl sample of their indulgence, his compdnions nailed his shoes to the floor one nIght after he had gone to sleep. >\t the earsplitting racket of reveille, he: leaped out of bed and into his shoes, dnd then fell for- ward on his chin. The score was evened when, with rcluctance, pleading ig- norance, he joined theIll in trying out as ddncers for a camp show. After sev- eral of his c0111rade<;-in-ar111s had made sorties of passable skill, Barstow took the floor dnd flashed into a routIne of such ddzzling brilliance that they were left stunned. Thereafter, they exhibited hitn with belligerent pride, pitting hi111 against unfortundte rivals fro In other caInps and units, and would scarcely tolerate even a Inention of dancing by outsiders. Not long after being inducted, Bar- tow was sent to CaInp IVlcCov, in v\Tis- (onsin, c:lnd thLre, working under a Captain V dnce Schwartz and with a buddy nan1ed \1ickey Sharp, he put to- gether l big "Vc:lr Bond musical called ((It's the l\;lcCoy," which among ArIny productions of its kind was exceeded in size onl) by ((This Is the ArIny." Bar- stow, in addition to writing 111uch of the Il1dterial for the show, diI ected, staged, and chol eogr'lphed it, and Captain Schwartz, who knew a gold 111ine when he saw one, arranged for hitn to be gIV- en a Inore or less free hand. So the Inu- sical Wc:1S sent off on a tour of the Middle \Vest, with B lrstow dancing in 1110St of Its nUll1bers, pIa) ing the dru111s in its Indrching band, and having an a11- round picnic. He received several ad- 111iring cOIn111endations froln high brass c:lnd govern111ent officials. The only trouble was that CdPtain Schw drtz had to exercise the ingenuity of d cOInbat general to keep Barstow froln being hauled off to war. There Wc:1S, for eXcl111ple, the occasion of Bar- "tow's first, and only, appearance on the rifle range. He had never before fired so ll1uch lS a Cdp pistol, but when the rifle instructor pointed out the targets, he knelt down and SCOI ed nine bull's- eyes in a row. "V ord of this developing disaster redched Captain Schwartz on about the seventh hit, and, pale and di- shevelled, he ran onto the field, yelling, "Get Bal stoV\ out of here before they put hitn on a ship!" Barstow left, but by then his perforlnance had won hi111 ell1 cxpert-Inarksman's medal.
